Cooking: The best week of the year

This is the week I live for all semester long. 

We have NOTHING this week on the agenda.

Swim practice continues until the end of time, but other than that...

NOTHING.

10 days til Christmas and my life is pretty sweet. 

Hope yours is too.

Dirt: This year will be different

The holidays are here!

This may be the first year that I am on my game, ready for whatever comes. 

Presents are wrapped and under the tree. Most of the people that I want to treat to a little something, have a little something. This year, it does not seem like a chore, but a privilege.

Last year, or the year before, I made up my mind to enjoy the holidays.Simple, right?

Well, for me, not so much.

Christmas Carols

This is one of the Swann women's favorite Christmas songs.

Yes, we are indeed a little twisted. 

Go figure that my children are as weird as me.
